These shared sentiments resulted in the SELs developing strongrelationships with each other as they considered themselves a “team.” As one SEL says “myfellow SEL members are great people I can work with, and I feel like I can speak my thoughtsand do my job without any environmental setbacks.” (Louis) They supported one another in

Looking at thesestudents’ beliefs of what an engineer does, we can make the claim that these students chooseengineering because they already like to do what they think engineers do for a career. Anne,Bob, and Projector Man all believe that in essence, engineers are problem solvers. When askedinterest prompts in the interviews such as, “Tell me about why you pursued engineeringcoursework this semester,” and, “What do you like about your engineering class this semester,”all three of their answers tie back to the problem solving

Nevertheless, this gapremained statistically insignificant throughout the semester (as denoted by * in Table 7). Onehypothesis for this observation is that curriculums without STEM AP courses available had morehands-on experiential learning opportunities available, thus increasing the student’s overallcomfort via a hands-on learning approach. Another hypothesis could be that schools without APcourses may communicate career options differently than those schools with AP courses and thusstudents at these schools feel more compelled to explore hands-on opportunities.

Studieshave identified several factors that drive students to leave engineering including classroomclimate, self-confidence/self-efficacy, academic preparedness, career interests, race and gender,and academic success (i.e., grades and conceptual knowledge,) [1].Math has long been considered the major academic “hurdle” in engineering study.

While they are generally verycomputer savvy, incoming freshmen have little experience with engineered equipment.

At present, this goal is carried out in two ways. First, six class meetings are devoted to themajors; each major has one dedicated class period with each section: the Major Day. Typically, aMajor Day involves an overview of the major through a review of the curriculum and a discussionof career options.

The employability ofengineering students today depends on more than just using their technical abilities; in order toeven secure part-time employment and progress in their careers, they also require complementaryprofessional abilities or soft skills [2], [3], [4].
